Items will be procured in increased quantities by increasing either average item level for Disciples of War and Magic, or gathering rating for Disciples of the Land. Moreover, for retainers set as Disciples of the Land, increasing perception will result in a higher likelihood of obtaining high-quality items.

Retainer gear can be changed via the retainer's character menu.

Disciples of War and Magic - Hunting

Miner - Mining

Botanist - Botany

Fisher - Fishing




* Disciples of War and Magic will procure the same items from ventures, regardless of class.

Disciples of War and Magic - Field Exploration

Miner - Highland Exploration

Botanist - Woodland Exploration

Fisher - Waterside Exploration


* Although retainers will procure items randomly, higher-level retainers may procure items, minions, and crafting materials unique to exploration ventures.


Quick Exploration

Upon reaching level 10, retainers can undertake quick exploration ventures. Retainers assigned to quick exploration will always come back with a single item, which will remain unknown until the venture is completed. The amount of experience earned will vary depending on the item found.
* There are no items unique to quick exploration ventures.


- Assigning a Venture
Players can assign a venture to their retainers by selecting Assign Venture from the retainer interface. Assigning a venture requires payment with a unique currency named ventures, which can be acquired through the exchange of company seals, fulfilling leve objectives, or completing beast tribe quests.

* Fees will not be refunded in the event a venture is canceled.
* Players can still summon their retainers and place items for sale on the market while a venture is in progress.
* The status of ventures can be confirmed under Timers in the Duty menu. Selecting Ventures from the Timers interface will display a separate window containing the status of individual retainers.

- Completing Ventures
All ventures are completed within a fixed period of time, which is affected by the retainer's level. When completed, your retainer's venture report will be updated in the retainer interface, allowing you to collect the spoils of their venture.

Retainers will receive experience points upon completion of ventures, increasing their level to a maximum of 50. The number of available ventures will increase as your retainer advances in level.

* The status of retainers dispatched to procure items is saved locally to your computer, PlayStation®3, or PlayStation®4, which may result in the display of incorrect information when changing systems. Summoning a retainer once via a summoning bell will update the status of their ventures on that system.

* The duty Cape Westwind has been removed from Duty Roulette: Low Level.

* The above duty roulette categories are unlocked upon completing all of their associated duties.

Registration for Duty Roulette: High Level now requires the completion of all associated duties.

The above changes to Duty Roulette requirements have been made in light reward adjustments, and to give players further incentive to complete all the duties within each category. Furthermore, because a great number of players who register for Duty Roulette have not cleared all duties within a given category, the above changes should also improve average waiting times for players who register for duties directly.

* All players will be required to fulfill the completion requirements of each Duty Roulette category even if they were able to register prior to patch 2.2.

The gil bonus awarded for being an adventurer in need has been increased.

* The gil bonus for adventurers in need, stated in the recent LIVE letter to have received a sevenfold increase, has since undergone adjustments. Gil bonuses will vary by the roulette undertaken, with the maximum increase being sixfold.

Item help text that cannot be identified will now display as "???" This can include the durability and spiritbond rating of gear when examining others, as well as certain details of items not yet claimed from mog letters.



The location of players bound by duty will now be displayed when viewing the social menu, free company window, and linkshell window.


Preset macro icons in the User Macros interface have been revised.

Icons for skills and general actions have been replaced with a new set of macro icons. Skill and general action icons now require use of the /macroicon command.

* Please be reminded that discarding event items will automatically abandon any related quests.

Players who log in using a one-time password can now register a free teleport destination.


Review details of the one-time password bonus.
